One year down, the rest of our lives to go!

One year ago today Jennifer and I were officially a couple. This surprises me because our first date, two days earlier, consisted of us sitting in a hospital because I had a bad UTI. Somehow this didn’t scare her away. At the time she lived in Maryland, courtesy of Tennessee, so let’s just say she’s well traveled! Shortly after meeting, she started looking for places to live in Pennsylvania. She found one, got a teaching job relatively close and made the move! I credit her for going with her heart and moving to Pennsylvania. I would like to think we would have made it one way or another, but what she did solidified us even more! We’ve been through a lot together in the past 365 days but nothing too powerful to break us apart from each other. We can finish each other’s sentences and are often thinking about the same thing at the same time, she’s beautiful inside and out, very smart and funny, has a wonderful family including a son she adores, amazing fur children, tolerates and even enjoys watching sports, has a team in my fantasy football league, loves the same kind of music but has her own taste as well, and the list goes on and on. Just a few examples of why I know she’s my person and it must have been an act of God for us to have found each other after what we’ve both been through. I often pray and thank him for bringing her in my life when he did. It was a prayer answered and no doubt a blessing to everyone in my world that has and will meet her! I love you Jennifer Lynn! To the Moon and back! 🙂 <3


Need fundraising

It’s been quite a few years since we’ve done a large fundraiser. My fund is getting dangerously low. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions regarding a fundraiser? I appreciate any and all insight you may offer. Thanks! 🙂


Trump

My mom was contemplating getting a new vehicle. Because of Trump’s threat of tariffs tomorrow, she did some of searching in a short amount of time and pulled the trigger on getting a new car. You should never feel pigeonholed into making a financial decision, as large as a vehicle, by your president. Is this truly some one who has this country’s best interest at hand? I think maybe it’s some one acting like a child and putting people, even some of our Allies, in the corner for timeout. This guy’s gotta go!!! This is just the beginning of his second term. Before too long we are going to have a lot of people with buyer’s remorse I’m thinking. Four more years…


Swollen

This morning, when I woke up, we found my leg and knee to be extremely swollen and full of fluid. As a result, I’m staying in bed for the day, in hopes that the swelling comes down. I believe they’re going to let the Dr. know as well. Seems like it’s always something! Nothing can ever go smoothly without a hiccup or two along the way. Such is life.

I’ll keep you posted of any changes. Thank you all so much for following! I appreciate your interest!


Stitches removal, or not!!!

I went to the doctors for a follow-up to my foot surgery. It was my understanding that they were going to remove stitches at today’s appointment. Not so much. They said the instructions advise that the stitches should be removed three weeks after surgery. This is week two, so I’m not 100% sure of the reason for today’s appointment if they’re just going to see me in another week. Over and done with at this point so it doesn’t really matter but wow, not handled well by the doctor’s office. It got me out to enjoy the beautiful weather, so that makes it all worth it. Plus I got to see my mom and Heather, always a bonus!


Break!

In July 2024 I was getting range of motion and stretching my legs when the aide overextended one of them and we heard a pop. After some pain and discomfort it was eventually communicated to the nurse and I was sent to the hospital for an xray. Please see attached. They determined that my hip was in fact broken but there wasn’t anything they could do. I had a follow-up appointment with a Dr. last week and I got another xray. They said it actually looks worse now, regarding the separation, but there’s not much they can do given my situation. They gave me the OK to ride my bike again, which totally and pleasantly surprised me! I miss riding so much. The last time I did it was in July. It’s been a while! It’s really the only range of motion I get on my legs. I’m now waiting for the doctors here at my home to give the final OK before I start. I can’t wait for the day to come that I will be able to ride once again! It’s coming soon! I hope.
